Leeds United have taken a 2-0 lead into half-time of their Championship match against Nottingham Forest this afternoon.

The visitors had the ball in the net early on, but the header was disallowed and Forest found themselves behind soon after.

El-Hadji Diouf's cross was stabbed back across goal by Sam Byram, allowing Luciano Becchio to finish.

The lead was doubled 12 minutes later as Becchio battling play saw the ball fall to Dominic Poleon, who lashed his shot past Lee Camp for his first goal in a Leeds shirt.

Leeds almost made it 3-0 right at the end of the half, but Becchio couldn't convert Byram's cross.
